MAKING PASTA

Eggs and wheat flour. Very simple. Just need some extra power to make the dough. Our workshop cook Aaron Teece from Studio Neon made the pasta for us. But in the photos you see charming Ashton who was so übercool and beautiful in our pictures.

Working in Venice. It's unreal. In every corner, there is beauty. A bit decayed yes but lucky me - I happen to like old and frayed.

It was perfect pasta making day. We had a cool cooks, superb stylist Ginny Branch and as a teacher was Local Milk's talented photographer Beth Kirby. We were in pretty good hands.

I think we couldn't have made any of this if we wouldn't have had the light. (I hope it's written right, haha)

So it was 4 days ladies with cameras. Everywhere and almost all the time. I enjoyed a lot and it is always - always - a pleasure be inspired by people around you.

Ok, finally we see a real work in front of camera and it's a man who is doing all the work :) Aaron made wonderful pasta with so stylish pasta machine.

Pasta.

We had a big dinner in the evening. There we met again handmade pasta.

PS. There will be great food photography workshops in this summer. Go and see Angela Ritchie's Ace Camps. There you can find Local Milk's workshop too. You can also find Aran Goyaga's workshop there. She is also talented and lovely cook and photographer. I've been also her student and I can recommend with big heart. Here you can find my blog post from the last summer's food photography workshop with Aran in Iceland. We went to picnic and it was just gorgeous styling by Aran and Aslaug Snorradottir. You have to go and see it!

    1. Yes it was. Winter day in Venice. But not too dark cloudy. Of course when you have cropped the light like with door only open it makes the light more focused than shooting outside where there are lots of light everywhere.
